Audit Analyst at AIG
Shermin Testimonial
I’m very grateful to be a part of the MS in Finance Flex program! The program gave me a wonderful opportunity to develop my quantitative skill set with myriad resources available for finance graduates seeking to advance their careers.
The MS in Finance program at UT Dallas offered two choices for the program format — MS in Finance Flex and MS in Finance Cohort. I chose MS in Finance Flex, which led me to the Financial Analyst (CFA) Concentration while providing me with an incredible choice of electives and simultaneously advancing my financial knowledge level. The Flex program gave me a time frame of 18 to 24 months to finish my degree coursework, which I certainly believe helped me gain the right financial expertise needed by industry professionals today
